The Spitfire Mk. 21 introduced a new wing which much improved the fighter's handling and agility at high speeds. Potential aileron reversal would occur at over 1300 km/h.
This would erase the Spitfire's one weakness in a dogfight.
Does that make it the best dogfighting/interceptor plane together with the F8F Bearcat?
Both machines clocked at a top speed of about 740 km/h which made them around 40 to 50 km/h slower than the fastest props such as the Spiteful or P-51H (and perhaps the projected Fw 190D with Jumo 213 EB).
How stiff were the wings of other late-war fighters?
Which of these superprops would you prefer?
Any more details about the Spit 21 wing?
